Interesting worldbuilding at first, but very soon after it is hampered by contrived unrealistic characters who make stupid decisions, the whole premise of the rescue (attack?) by kids just doesn't make sense. I have a feeling the means will overshadow what might be a good end. Someone thought of a cool world but forgot to write a good story.

I almost really love this show, except a few too many sketches need to be edited. The plots just go on too long to maintain the humor. For example, the bar with the dances being stolen and the restaurant, the plot just continues and continues ostensibly to make them into a full fledged story with a beginning, middle, and end, but if it were just tidied up and ended sooner, the sketches would be spot on. Saturday Night Live does this well, just ending a scene after the jokes are made:

That said, I do actually laugh out loud and this show could be a 9 with some editing, trimming the script, and focus on delivering the laughs without providing a full, layered narrative.

This movie is not like any other. It is truly an achievement. One of the best films I've ever seen. I too was wary of the hype and was never even really that into the Dark Knight. I'm a movie snob. This movie is something unique and terrifying and one of the best films of this decade.
